Consular nonreviewability

Consular nonreviewability (sometimes written as consular non-reviewability, and also called consular absolutism) refers to the common law doctrine in United States immigration and nationality law whereby the visa decisions made by United States consular officers working for the United States Department of State are presumed to be not subject to judicial review. It is closely related to the plenary power doctrine that immunizes from judicial review the substance of United States immigration and nationality law.
